OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

OK so i just joined this group i am hoping to meet other moms who have loved ones in our same ship/division..i dont know about anyone else but i am going crazy not having any contact with my daughter and i cant help but wonder how she is doing in there. All I have received so far was the box but no notes:( My daughter just graduated high school in May and is only 17 but this is what she wanted to do so i have to let her grow up its letting go that is the hardest! I hope to hear from other mom's too!

Hi all you moms,
So happy to find out what ship and div. my son is in. He is also in with the brothers group. Hi Wadesmomship! The recuiter gave me the wrong address (ACOURSE) thanks to this site I knew better to send out letters. I recieved my box; so sad! No note, nothing. I thought maybe a smile face or something on the form letter, NOPE. But with all of you moms I know it will make it better getting through the next 6 WEEKS!. It's hard, but I quess we have no other choice. Have a great day ladies,
WE LOVE OUR SAILORS!

Oh you poor woman!!! I am GOING OUT OF MY MIND WITH ONE!!!! But how proud you must be!!!! I have 3 children, well, 2 and a stepson, but he is mine too!!! However, the one that is there now is MY BABY!!! I do have the stepson still at home, but he doesn't spend too much time with me, so I feel like an empty nester now..
Good luck to your and all of yours!!!!

Still looking for Mom's to join our group!!! Please let me know your name from here, or your name on facebook, so I can connect the dots and know who you are. I feel its necessary to keep it a true closed group so our kids are kept as safe as possible. I dont know why anyone would want to access our kids info, but you just never know.
Thanks for understanding and I really look forward to more folks on our facebook page!!!!
